What adds salt to the wound is that the money was taken from the IRS who would've used it to hire more auditors so they can audit more wealthy people who've been cheating on their taxes.For every $1 spent for auditors, they return an average of $12.
So we really lost $168bn in federal income that could've helped the public.
They don't want people knowing where their money goes.
The Pentagon can't/won't account for trillions of dollars that they've been given, which adds more salt to the wound.
I’m pretty sure that bill only passed the house then the companion bill stalled out in Senate committee. Neither Senate Dems or Biden fell for that bait.
Well that's great news. Thank you
Source? I thought only the house bill, which was DOA in the senate, included that. Don't mean to sound confrontational, I'd just like to know and haven't been able to find anything myself.
You've got more information than me, I wasn't aware it died in the Senate. I just assumed the figure in the post was referring to that same House Bill.
